In Toledo Cathedral, they say the Mozarabic Rite (also known as the Visigothic rite) mass daily. While it has been relegated overtime to being said at just a handful of locations every now and then, it has been said four times at the Vatican, most recently in 2015.

What is the Mozarabic rite? As you can see from this picture, the acolytes wear amice, alb, and cincture, as was commonly done in the Middle Ages also in the various Uses of the Roman Rite.

A longer variant of the "Aufer a nobis" is then said, and the thurible is then swung in a number of small circles as the celebrant goes around the altar.

After the Offertory, the Eucharistic Vessels are covered with a veil while other prayers are said before the Preface.

"Be present, be present, Jesus, the good high priest, in our midst as you were in the midst of your disciples and hal+low this oblation that we may take the things + sanctified by the hands of your holy angel, Holy Lord and everlasting Redeemer."

After the Lord's prayer and the Embolism, the Paten and Chalice are displayed and the priest says "Sancta sanctis" meaning "holy things for the holy", which is also said in the Byzantine rite prior to communion.

Due to the Islamic subjugation of Iberia, a conservative attitude was adopted which resulted in attempts to preserve the rite as authentically as possible. Alfonso VI however chose to impose the Roman rite on Castille, and the Mozarabic rite began to decline in prevalence.

Despite this, the conservative attitudes of Christians subjugated by Islam meant that it persevered longer. An agreement was made between Mozarabs in Toledo with the King of Castille y Leon, and as a result the Mozarabic rite was able to continue to exist in Toledo.

A succession of Archbishop Alonso Carrillo, Cardinal Pedro González de Mendoza, and Cardinal Francisco Jiménez de Cisneros resulted in significant efforts to curb the decline of the Mozarabic rite, as despite the agreement it had continued to deteriorate.

Cardinal Cisneros implemented a new Mozarabic rite, based off of all existing manuscripts of older variants and filling in any gaps with traditions or "Mozarabized" (made up this word btw) aspects of the Roman rite. The reforms saved the Rite, allowing it to continue today.

Cardinal Francisco Antonio de Lorenzana imposed minor reforms after learning about the Rite while in Mexico. His reforms centered around promoting the Hispanic heritage of the Rite following grammatical issues raised by a Jesuit priest.

The Mozarabic Rite was one of the Rites that was considered old enough to be allowed to continue in the Latin Church after Quo Primum abrogated many minor Rites to institute the Tridentine Rite.

By the mid 19th century, the Capilla Mozárabe (pictured below) was the only place regularly offering the Rite following numerous parishes being suppressed. It remains the only place offering it in Toledo today.

Just made this thread because I think it's important to remind people in the Latin Church that the Roman rite isn't the only Rite of our Church. There are four Gallican Rites and six Order Rites on top of it, so even if you object to the NO, the TLM isn't the only alternative.
